In this episode of Teachers Off Duty, the hosts share hilarious and painfully relatable stories about running into students everywhere from the grocery store to cruise ships. They also talk about some rather inventive ways to potentially avoid those run-ins that you just know will lead to awkward and potentially long conversations. Teacher burnout is real, and our panel explores why even brief encounters outside of the classroom can lead to overstimulation. From there the conversation gets even wilder as our teachers get into a discussion about all the ways they used to cheat in school and how kids these days just don't measure up. Plus there's some great back and forth about the future of education, the laughability of putting robots in the classroom, and what to make of AI in general.
